GMAT score is scaled to 800. The avg
GMAT score for Top B-Schools is 740+. Yes
it is quite possible to get 800 out of 800 in GMAT. I still remember that 10 yrs back (in 1998-99)
in India only few people used to score 800 in GMAT. I remember that there was only one person who
scored 800 in the year 1996 (not sure though). But the situation is
quite different now. There are quite good number of students who
are able to score 800 these days.

Also, the noticeable factor especially in the last one year is
that some B-Schools are granting admission to the International
students based on their work experience and academic profile. Of
course there were always schools which did not require GMAT. But the noticeable change is that some of the
decent and reputed B-Schools started to move away from GMAT. But an international student must take one of
the exams: TOEFL and IELTS.

As far as my knowledge goes there is no way to compensate for
the marks in one section by out performing the other section. Both
the sections have equal importance and if you are looking to get a
good score it is obvious that you need to score well in both the
sections. A GMAT score of 740+ reflects
that both the Verbal and Math ability of the scorer are very good.
So if you score full in Math, you need to score almost full in
Verbal as well to reach 780+

sir,is it possible for me to get entry to a top ivy league
bschool by scoring above 750 in gmat,though my academic record is
not good?does work experience in govt sector job in india really
matter to them when going for an mba?

Though an important benchmark, scholarship decisions are not
based on GMAT score alone, just like
admissions decisions. Schools take many dimensions of your
application into account to determine whether or not to award a
scholarship. It is also rare to receive a full scholarship to
MBA programs, although it is more common
from schools that are generally outside of the top 30 in most
rankings.

The best way to position yourself for scholarship awards is to
score in the 700s on your GMAT, submit a
strong application, and distinguish yourself from other candidates
with similar profiles to yours. The admission in the MBA program is a big puzzle work, if one piece is
weaker, you want to work on maximizing other areas.

The GPA is very important because it
tracks your performance for approximately four very important years
and demonstrates your ability to perform in an academic
environment. A good score on GMAT can
help to balance out a low GPA. If you did
not do well in business and quant classes, it is that much more
important to excel on the quant portion of the GMAT.

However, do not loose hope since there have been candidates who
have made it to reputed B-schools with a low GPA of even 3.0!

The GMAT though and important
benchmark while evaluating an application for MBA degree is the note the sole criteria that
determines the admission or even the scholarship.

Please remember the financial assistance in the universities for
post graduate international applicants is not sound and is at the
lower end for the MBA candidates.
However, a good score on both the sections of the GMAT can bring in assistantship but usually after a
semester.

I would strongly recommend you opt for other financial sources
to meet with the expenses rather than rely to get benefit from the
universities. Even if you do manage to avail assistance from the
universities, the amount availed would only meet some of the
tuition expenses.

Though substantial work experience does enhance one's profile,
especially while considering a Management degree like MBA, it is not the sole deciding factor and the
academic grades, score on the entrance exams etc. all play a vital
role.

While the scores on the entrance exams are not dependent on the
work experience one has, together they do pave path to good
B-schools. I perceive you are considering the GMAT, that
is acceptable worldwide, a score of 700+ should help you get
through some of the decent B-schools in India and abroad.

Hey Guys,
I was just wandering, if a techy guy can get into MBA. inspite of B. Tech and Masters in Engineering…
Since I have been involved in many management tasks. And guess
what, I am liking it. So just wanted to know, if guys like me with
good score in GMAT can get into B Schools
around US…
Thanks.
